wife

This past year has been rough on most people. Emotionally, financially, even spiritually. A lot of us have had to make serious adjustments in our lives to keep ourselves safe and secure. This time has also tested a lot of couples. Some had to be together for obnoxiously long periods, some didn't get to see each other for months at a time, and some had to flat-out end things. In sum, the world is different. But one thing will always be important when it comes to relationships, and that thing is communication.

A woman posted on the subreddit Am I The A-Hole wanting to know whether her former husband's new wife was unreasonable in requesting that she change her married name. The new wife texted the former wife asked her to revert to her maiden name, "Because we are married now, and I'm his wife. I should be the only one with his last name." The OP wrote that she and her ex, "have not been married for over 12 years. The reason I did not change my name is due to all my professional certifications and licenses. Ex and I agreed when we got divorced that it was too much of a hassle to change everything, and I would keep my last name the same to avoid the stress and headache of having to do that."

Of course, Redditers jumped to her defense and calling out the new wife for being unreasonable, as well as her former husband for indulging the nonsense. See what you think of this ridiculous woman.

Being on a diet isn't easy, but it's especially tough when you're living with someone who isn't. Watching them eat all the foods you are restricting can be a hard temptation, but diets are a personal choice, and no one else should have to limit themselves for you just because you've decided to diet. Sure, you can be mindful of what you eat in front of someone, but that's about it. One married couple is butting heads over the correct way to go about one of them dieting, and the husband posted on Reddit's Am I The A—hole for some moral support.

Relationships can be challenging, but it makes things a little easier when you can vent about it on Twitter. And you can bet that whatever frustrations you're going through in your relationship, someone else is experiencing the same thing in theirs. Each week we collect the funniest relationship tweets we could find over the past seven days, and these are just as funny as last week's collection. With any luck, they'll make you feel a little less alone with your own love-related struggles.  

Anyone who buys lunch every day at work will know how fast the bills add up. A coffee here, a burger there, and a salad somewhere else, these 'small' costs can suddenly become significant accumulated amounts. One couple decided that in an attempt to save up for a house, part of their cost-cutting strategy would be for the husband to bring in his wife's homemade sandwiches instead of buying fast food. But when she found out through his coworker that he had been selling her sandwiches to them and using the money to buy fast food instead, she was understandably devastated and felt like she was being taken advantage of.

Finding "the one" is a beautiful thing, especially when you're genuinely in love. Tying the knot, starting a new life together, and beginning your journey into married bliss is something that every couple dreams of. But then, reality sets in, and real-life begins. Suddenly, you have someone keeping you awake every night with their snoring, and there is dirty laundry strewn all over the floor. Now, you always have to take someone into account when making decisions, even when you don't like them very much. Welcome to marriage bliss; it's a beautiful place.

Relationships are a funny thing. It's something that we all think about It, probably more than we should. Also, it seems like everyone has relationship advice to give, regardless of whether or not they've ever actually had a successful relationship — or any relationship at all for that matter, but we all like to pretend like we're little love gurus. Relationships are also clearly not like how they are portrayed in movies. The idea of love at first sight is so unrealistic it hurts, and they really overemphasize the idea that 'opposites attract'; any psychologist will tell you differently.

If you want to see the reality of what relationships are actualy like, well, Twitter has got your back.

A whole lotta sht could go down in a marriage, and a whole lot of sht can go down at work. But what about when the two collide and create an explosion of cringe and awkwardness? That's exactly what happened on the well-known Reddit thread 'Am I The Asshole?' this week. A man posted about how his wife felt it was completely okay to invade his privacy and break into his personal Facebook account in order to fire a coworker that she had a problem with. Scroll down to hear about the drama that ensued. 

Ahh, love. It brings us joy and heartbreak, happiness and misery. The ups and downs of relationships can undoubtedly drive you crazy, so why not vent your frustrations out on the internet? Nowadays, Twitter is the therapist you never knew you needed; it's the place to bitch about your partner when they're driving you crazy, guaranteeing you all the sympathy you need. And the bonus? You get to entertain the masses at the same time. Welcome to this week's funniest relationship tweets, which prove that the Twitter gods have once again shone their light down on us and given us another batch of laughs at the expense of other people's love lives.

Everybody has their own insecurities. Sometimes they stem from childhood experiences, from an individual person in particular, or from a general societal standard. It's amazing that any of us have the courage to leave our homes these days with all of these unrealistic expectations being drilled into our minds. It is generally agreed upon that women are forced to face these disgusting standards each and every day, and they play a large part in our development and overall confidence. What we don't talk about as much, though, is how guys do often face the same, or similar, issues.

Just like women have things that they care about that guys seriously don't, like thigh gaps, hip dips, cellulite, there are probably equally as many things guys wrongly assume women care about.

To the guys out there, hopefully, this wholesome Reddit thread helps to remind you that you are perfect just the way you are.

Marriage is like navigating a minefield of love and hate. One minute you're standing at the altar, looking at this perfect person in front of you through rose-tinted glasses, blissfully ignorant about what lies ahead. Next thing you know, every single thing about them annoys you, from the way they breathe to the way they style their hair. Now, you have to cohabitate with this person forever, regardless of how much they drive you crazy. Welcome to marriage; as one Twitter user so accurately put it, "The secret to a successful marriage is to marry the one who matches your values, principles and thermostat settings." Here are the funniest marriage tweets we saw this month, giving you a taste of marriage bliss.

I once believed that reaching your 'happily ever after' with the dude you love was the ultimate goal. I couldn't have been more wrong. There's a whole lotta conflict to deal with once you're actually married. Contrary to popular belief, marriage is not all fuzzy feelings, rainbows, butterflies, and sunsets. Relationships take time, effort, blood, sweat, and tears. The best way to express all the issues that come up in marriage? Memes, of course! Scroll down for the funniest marriage memes this week. 

The internet is full of interesting people, some more so than others. But every so often, you come across someone who is such an awful human that you can't believe they are real. One guy proved how true this is when his wife posted on Reddit's Am I The A—hole explaining how demeaning approach to 'help' her lose her baby weight was giving her a breakdown. She unveiled that after developing post-partum depression, she struggled to shift the weight she gained from the pregnancy, which is when her husband decided to reveal he was no longer attracted to her. Charming, right? It gets better. In an attempt to incentivize her weight loss, he told all their friends and family (including their young children) to call her 'Ms. Piggy', effectively fat-shaming her into losing weight. After her children called her by her new nickname one night at dinner, she admitted that she lost it and started crying. Redditors jumped to her defense, calling her husband out as the emotionally abusive a—hole that he is.

Another week has gone by, which means another week of people doing their best not to kill their significant other because of the way they're breathing, blinking, or blowing their nose. Or just for the way they exist. I mean, love is great and all that, but after a while, your partner can start to grind your gears and drive you a little crazy. Or, stark-raving mad. That's why Twitter makes for such a great outlet when it comes to airing your relationship woes. Welcome to this week's funniest relationship tweets, which give you an insight into the trials and tribulations of the general population's love life. Hopefully, they will make you feel less... alone?
